Since it got the car tuned its been sitting in the garage gathering dust (probably rust too....its a mini after all)  I have been running it for 30mins - 1 hour each week, but its not been on the road much.

 

So I drove it around the block today, still works great and I definitely had a massive grin on my face. I did realise about halfway around that the MOT recently ran out so I quickly put it away again, will be taking around next week to get tested. Considering its only done 40-ish miles since the last MOT I am not too worried of failure.

 

Now its back in the garage, after a oil change, and I am starting to think do I really need the car or should I let it go to someone who is going to get more out of it?

 

I lack the correct number of posts to put this in the classifieds, so if you read this and are interested in the car PM me!!

[Club-MAN]

Yay, fully road legal again.

 

Car breezed through the MOT today, still if anyone want to give it a better hone I am open to offers!

Just read the entire thread, sweet work dude. Very nice Clubman. It'd be a shame to sell it but 40 miles in a year is a good enough reason I suppose....At least you'll get a shed load of wonga for it :)

Last weekend I took the Mini to show at Himley Hall, Dudley.....which also happens to be 5 mins from my moms house!

 

A total of just short of 400 mile round trip. So drove from Hull to Oakham, stayed a night, then to Dudley!

 

Spend a few hours at the show, some really nice cars on show.

 

Then drove Dudley to Marlock, another night in a hotel, then back to home.....The car made the journey fine, the radiator started leaking at the end, but thats since been replaced.

 

And then I went car shopping yesterday......might have been an impluse buy!!

I made my mind up the other day and have decided to put the Mini up for sale. I have put it in the usual places, ebay, pistonheads and carandclassics....I would put it on here but I don't have enough posts.

Yes, I know the price is quite high, but its a starting point for bartering!! And if I get no interest I drive it around for another summer.....win win really!

Shame it's not a GT you'd get that easily. Still a bargain for someone with all the work carried out. Good luck.

The price is there to put off tyre kickers, i know I will never get that......but I can always dream can't it?

Well thats the Mini sold, got the price I wanted and hopefully the guy I sold it too will drive it and use it as it should be!

 

For a grand total of £200 I have replaced the Mini with....

 

 

Cheaper, more modern and they can still be found in scrap yards to get cheap parts. I does have the same amount of rust as a Rover mini thought!!!
